FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Everybody knows that shrubs are indispen¬ 
sable, whether on private places, in parks, or 
any grounds, and may be used in any situation, 
around porches, at the base of houses, at the 
entrances, between trees and as backgrounds 
for perennial borders, or specimens; wherever 
planted, they always make handsome effects. 
Our assortment consists of all hardy varieties 
and is such that flowers may be had during the 
entire growing season together with the various 
colors of the bright yellow, brilliant red and 
somber shades of purple and variegated foli¬ 
ages. And the Winter effects in some of the 
shrubs is very striking, especially so when they 
come in contrast with white snow, such as the 
Cornus with its red and yellow bark, the Bar¬ 
berry and Viburnums with their bright red ber¬ 
ries that hang on the bushes during the entire 
Winter.
